I even did an HN search, but I didn't think to look for "fonts" instead of "font".
Strangely, it seems the HN search will exact match on the initial search and then prefix match after that. Compare URLs:
Initial search
https://hn.algolia.com/?q=input%20font#!/story/forever/0/input%20font
Add an 's' then remove it
https://hn.algolia.com/?q=input%20font#!/story/forever/prefix/0/input%20font
Same search term shows in the box, but the results are different.
I've submitted an issue on GitHub to address this: https://github.com/algolia/hn-search/issues/41 https://github.com/algolia/hn-search/issues/41
- dang 12y agoWe're working on a more sophisticated dupe detector that will do this kind of matching automatically, so hopefully the days of tracking all this down manually (for both our sakes!) are numbered.
